A Smithocracy.

A few days ago this journal had the
distinction to be first in proposing an
alteration in the form of our govern
ment--a change from a republic to a
Smithocracy Some Of our esteemed
contemporaries have disclosed a yelled
ignorance Of that system and a certain
clandestine curiosity as to what it is
like. We feared that something Of this
kind would result from our unex.
planned suggestion; it seemed unhap-
PLY probable that some persons would
not readily "catch on, though truly the
word, "Smithocracy," would appear to
carry its own lantern. Our notion is,
that what we may call government by
Tom, Dick and Harry is not as good
as il looks--not even for MessrS.
Thomas, Richard and Henry. The
entire body Of the people, including
dynamiters, persons in the general
criminality line, and practisingaidiots,
cannot safely be intrusted with the
governmental function, On the other
hand, we regard with equal distrust the
one.man power Of the modern mon.
archy, the monarch never by any
chance being the one man. "a dis
tinctly better form than this was the
old Roman Triumvirate or three-man
power--on to rule and two to keep
his courage up) Between these OBJ
jectionable and discredited systems, a
Smithocratic government appears to US
a happy compromise government in
which all political power and control
are vested by law and hereditary right
in the Smith family, the oldest John
Smith being the executive head Of the
nation for life, and all the other mem
bers Of the family holding all the other
Offices selfinducted into them by
some simple and natural system of sue
cession easily devised There should
be always as many offices as Smiths,
and vice versa. The system, doubtless,
is not without disadvantages; we men.
toned it rather with a view to discus
sion than in the hope Of its immediate
adoption. Oakland ITbNRe

there, there is no fear Of any sudden
collapse Of commerce. There are, it is
true, influences at work calculated to
produce more or less steady conrac-
ton. Yet the country will probably,
in a great measure, adapt itself pro-
portionately to the changing conditions,
and when difficulties become "a sea
oftroubles may probably have strength
and vigor enough conserved to "take
up arms against" the worst Of such
troubles, and by opposing end them.
We make the quotation metaphorically
as the author uttered the words, so that
there is no need Of the reference to
arms just made inducing a mobili-
cation Of the "skids." BE Of good
heart, and advertise in the HERALD, is
wholesome advice to business men in
the blues.

FRIDAY. MARCH IS, 1887.
UNwoNTED INTERFERENCE


A few Sundays ago the police sum-
marily compelled Mr. Richter, pro-
prietor Of the Victoria restaurant, to
close his door at seven o'clock in the
evening On the following Sunday
evening a regular boarder went to that
restaurant at about eight o'clock, and
finding the door closed knocked for
admittance. The proprietor came to
the door and stated, as above, that the
police had compelled him to close at
seven o'clock. The hungry man told
him that the police had no right to do
any such thing, as the law had been
changed at the last session Of the Leg.
islature, expressly exempting eating
houses from the former restrictions to
their business on Sunday. And he
was right, for the law in question en-.
acts "that during the entire day meals
may be sold to be eaten on the prem
ises where sold, or served elsewhere by
caterers" The most palpable presump-
ton is that "the entire day is 10 be
construed as including all the hours
during which labor no! exempted by
the act is unlawful AT least that is
the only common sense view to take of
it, for otherwise one chief intent
Of the trainers Of the act, which
was undoubtedly to relieve eating
houses from the restrictions OF the
old law, would be defeated. More.
over, the act specifies certain hours in
which other works Of necessity may be
performed, but none in the case OF
eating-houses furnishing meals on or
off the premises. For instance, milk
may be delivered up til 9 o'clock in
the morning, and after 3 in the after
noon. The presumption is, therefore,
as clear as day, that, no hours being
fixed during which meals may be
served, there is no limit of time to such
service, and "the entire day" includes
all the hours of whatever is implied by
the phrase Sunday, commonly called
the Lords Day" in the statute. Not
only does the above instance show
that the police have been allowed tc
remain in ignorance of the laws the,
are set to protect, but their utter OBJ
liviousness to the requirements of the
law relating to street obstruction evince'
blameful neglect on the part Of theil
superiors, whose duty it is to instruct
them in the laws tina, they are appointed
to preserve from violation.

An abuse that needs rectdcation is
the long unbroken lines of road carts,
driven by members of the prison gang,
that are allowed TO incommode the
regular traffic, AS professional gen

prohibited in other cities In New

vehicles of that kind, such as coal carts,
are allowed to travel, one close behind
